Now, here are 2 unique things I witnessed that will make you shit brix.

First one: When Boston needed a place to dump a metric fuckton of soil taken from the Big Dig construction project, they planned to dump it in the old quarry when they drained them. My friend and I travelled to one of the drained ones, named "Nigger's Heaven". After being drained the cliff face was 300-500 feet before hitting what was left of the drained water. Down below we saw Canadian Geese swimming, and they looked very small due to the distance.

Swimming very close by were fish. White fish 3-4 times longer than the geese. This makes the fish, in my guess, 5-8 feet long.

What has science done?

Brought comfort, safety and progress to your life. And increased your estimated duration of life dramatically. And made huge monster fish.

The next one creeps me out more.

We were walking in a totally different set of woods in a totally different section of town. We'de heard rumors (from my uncle) of an abandoned quarry in Faxon Park.

We found it. The government owns it now and they do tests there. For submarines or some shit. We infiltrated the shit security (fence and cameras).

Inside, and close to the water, we found dandelions with heads the size of grapefriuts. Just like in TMNT II the movie. Except our dandelions were all dead.

Why were these dandilions so big where the government does these submarine tests? And why were the fish in the adjacent (but miles away) quarry so big?

Another fact:

Top Navy SEAl Divers were sent to recover a girls's body in Swingle's quarry. When the diver's went down, they found 4 different bodies. None were the girl. And that was just looking around. There were likely scores more they said.

They divers also said they were all done diving. It was far too dangerous with the rocks, branches and quarry equimpment (and abandoned cars) down in the murky depths. So they just poured the Boston Big Dig dirt on it all.
Rest in Piece.

>>806514What has science done?

Transported fish from one side of the world to the other. Most likely just plain old carp. That will get up to 5' long in a large enough space.

There were also tiny jellyfish, but they didn't turn up until the mid-late 90s.

Part of "Gone Baby Gone" was filmed there as well, but the water was re-added digitally because it's not there anymore.

Googleing the terms "dandelions" "gigantism" yields results for radiation and Chernobyl.

Hope you washed your hands after.

Plymouthfag here. Fuck I'm never going near Quincy again.

>>806562
Quincy is fucking weird. While you're at it, stay out of Braintree and Milton. They border the quarries.

>>806580
oh fuck, I live in Milton

Here's the coordinates to where we found the dandelions. Notice the dock and buildings for research, and note how far the houses are from it.
Put this into google maps:
42.234324,-70.990788

And note how google maps has no name for the body of water. We called it "Echo Lake" or "Razzle Dazzle" or simply, "Faxon Quarry"

Google turns up very little for those searches.

Shit man.

I'm in CT and you've sort of tempted me to go check out some Massachusetts creepy places.

>>806591

MA is full of creepy places. In case you haven't heard of the Danver's Mental Asylum, google it up.

My uncle was on the contract to tear it down, and he said guys quit the jobsite because they heard voices inside the asylum. No shit.

>>806602
Yeah, I've heard of Danvers. I'm hoping to get together a small band of my friends to do some urban exploring and I'd love to go there.

As an added bonus, there are dozens murder victims and mob hits that will never be recovered. Now they are under 300ft of dirt.

>>806518
highly doubt the govn does tests for submarines in a old quarry, unless you're talking small 3-5man submersibles.

Ive swam in one nearby. I learned my lesson after a fatass landed on me.

Some kid hit the side and died last year. In ours I have heard that theres tons of bodies and cars dumped to get insurance money.

Im talking about the one in Milford. Its a pretty cool place to chill in the summer though.

Also in the area is an old 1800s school house. One night we went inside and got scared shitless. There were all there little chairs inside looking at us. It was really dark and all of the original stuff was still there. The on the other side there was this little room that creeped us all out.

Also I forgot to mention the sand pits in Bellingham Mass. The place is gigantic and reminds me alot of an alien landscpae. We explored it one night and were pretty creeped out.

Theres some machinery still left there. We went over a hill and through the woods to find a landfill type place. Its a very cool place to explore.

Is it possible to get inside Danvers or is there security or locked doors?

This place seems very appealing.

Just too bad Danvers was demolished and turned into an apartment complex.

RIP Quincy Quarries

put on 'places of interest' in google earth and "Echo Lake" does in fact come up

New England has awesome creepy places.

In the South, we have Indian burial grounds, old slave cabins, battlefields, and the occasional "haunted" tavern or older place. Also, lighthouses (NC fag here). Lighthouses are home to some awesome ghost stories, especially in places like the Outer Banks.

I don't really believe in ghosts, but I still love visiting these supposedly haunted places.

If I wanted to come north and scope out some scary shit, where should I go?

New Jersey

>>807189

Cool.

Would be sort of neat to say I spent the night searching for the Jersey Devil, wouldn't it?

Having been through NJ once though, there is no fucking way I'm traipsing through the woods alone at night in that place without a gun, though.

>>807189

Essex Mountain Sanatorium.

Went there once, never want to go back.

Can anyone name so cool bri/x/-shitting places in central PA?

A lot of fish are a lot larger/can get larger than you'd believe they would be. If they have enough food and don't get ate, they get scary.

Pretty sure dandelions don't get that big normally, sunflowers do and they terrify the shit out of me when they do.

Strange shit.

New Bedford fag here (grew up in Brockton and Middleborough though)
Massachusetts has to be the most 'haunted' state in the US.

>>806518
I've seen huge dandelions too...it's not that paranormal.

Look up The Bridgewater Triangle sometime.

Southeastern Mass.

I live in Assonet, the hotspot center.

FFFFFFUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK

>>807263
I've always wanted to spend Halloween night in Hockomock Swamp.

>>807263

I just read the wiki entry.

Wiki on paranormal is always full of shit, because everyone and their grandma's dentist throws on some BS, but I would love to hear about it from someone who actually lives near there...

this thread is forged from the cold, hard steel of win.

>>807287
I can tell you how every other house on my street is haunted, or about the frequent mutilated cows discovered in the woods (WHERE THE FUCK DO THE COWS COME FROM, THERE ARE NO COWS FOR MILES), or the near nightly UFO sightings, or I could tell you the most awesome fact:

THIRTEEN REGISTERED LLAMAS

>>807310
Hm, I do believe I'll tripfag to answer questions.

Mostly because I'm an enormous faggot.

>>807317
Bah, I'll do this thread on friday. I'm too tired, and leaving for the week.

>>807377
Llamas like the furry creatures or lamas like the buddhist monks?

Anything interesting in New Mexico? I haven't heard of anything cool

Randolphfag here. We have a creepy abandoned missile base.

Something is not right about those quarries. So many dead bodies. Superhaunted. Maybe it will be like Poltergiest someday.

Nothing really interesting in Cape Breton. A couple of supposedly haunted churches. Me and some friends are going to check one out soon.

We also walked into an abandoned old hotel that was supposedly haunted, once. They were tearing it down, so we walked in to check the place out (doors were open in the back). We went into one guest room, looked around, then went into the laundry room. There were some gross, torn-up sheets set up almost like a bed. We were all too pussyish to go far in the room. Then I shined my light on the wall in the hall, and saw a red substance splattered, dripping down the wall (it didn't look still wet). I had to show one of my friends though, because I am color blind, and it could've been brown or something. But he confirmed it was red and took the fuck off out of there. So did I and my other friend. We were going to go back in to get a picture, but two people started walking towards us, we could only see their black sillhouttes. We ran like fuck. Turned out to be the cops. No charges, though.

>>807231
My guess is that they were catfish. But what could they eat to get so big in the quarry? My guess is the occasional dead body.

And the dandelions were just like the regular kind, just super-duper-sized. Waaaaay too big.

Also, I remember a sign on the dock at the quarry saying in big letters "DANGER SOUND RADIATION"

wtf

I wasn't too worried, but what the hell was the gov't doing with that quarry?

Someone needs to know. I can't be the only one who knows of these quarries.

oh, and when my high school was supposed to move, like back in 2000, the new site for the school was to be in close proximity to the quarry.

The whole plan got axed because the soil samples came back highly polluted.

I wish I was in a badass part of Massachusetts. Instead, I get to live two towns over from Mitt Romney's overgelled ass.

i am a heron. i ahev a long neck and i pick fish out of the water w/ my beak. if you dont repost this comment on 10 other pages i will fly into your kitchen tonight and make a mess of your pots and pans.

>Pretty sure dandelions don't get that big normally, sunflowers do and they terrify the shit out of me when they do.

You're afraid of SUNFLOWERS??????

Dude!

Go read Larry Niven's Ringworld books. In them, sunflowers are plants that concentrate sunlight and use it as a laser to hunt flying animals, then absorb nutrients from the rotting corpses.

I'm in California, near the Sierra mountains, and we have dandelions that get to the size of baseballs all over the place.

>>807215

the sugar valley and rag valley areas have some brix shitting stuff and it doesn't much more central than that only a few miles from the exact center of the state
